I've noticed lately a lot of "succeeds port" messages when I run
portversion (from the portupgrade port) to list which of my packages
are out of date and require updating. These messages are incorrect
(i.e., the "port has" version identified by portversion is older than
that in the actual port Makefile), and I don't get incorrect
identifications from either pkg_version or portmanager. (I also don't
get this problem on a RELENG_6 system I have, either.)

After a little looking, I discovered that my /usr/ports/INDEX-7 file is
not being updated. Investigation of the portsnap source reveals that
it only actually generates INDEX, INDEX-5, and INDEX-6 from portsnap
updates in extract_indices(); it doesn't generate INDEX-7.

Workarounds until portsnap does it again, in order of length of time to
generate INDEX-7:
cd /usr/ports ; make fetchindex
cd usr/ports ; make index
pkgdb -U
